So today B and I went out with our real estate agent to look at a few
homes. We saw a couple different homes but here's a brief rundown of
what we saw.
House #1 was in a nice looking
neighborhood and had a GORGEOUS kitchen. There were only two odd things
about it--the only way to access the basement was from the outside and
it was very narrow and tall, which made it resemble a brick church of
sorts. Not really our style.
House #2 was an itty bitty
brick ranch. While it was cute (and had a lovely kitchen), it was off a
main road and also only had a basement access from the outside and the
laundry room was in the garage! I don't like the idea of doing laundry in the same place where B changes the oil in our cars, so that one was off the list.
House
#3 was an adorable split level. It had the wood floors and vaulted
ceilings that I love, a large backyard and the kitchen, while small-ish
has the potential for us to really personalize and make our own. B was
glad that the rooms were large enough for all of our furniture too. This
one was our favorite so far.
House #4 was in a
great school district and was a split level home. It needed a little TLC
(hello floral wallpaper and mauve carpet!), but it was at the bottom of
our price range so we'd have a little dough left over to update it.
While the neighborhood was adorable (and had a pool and tennis courts!),
the yard was small, the laundry connections were in the garage (is this
a Southern trend that I'm unaware of?) and we saw some water damage on
the ceiling, which made us cross this one off.
House #5
was a possible contender. A very cute ranch stye home, that was fully
updated. The kitchen was small but completely updated. It was on about
an acre of land, but was mostly wooded in the back. The overall feel of
the home was nice although there was no basement which meant that it's
about the same size as our current apartment.
At the end of the day we asked our real estate agent for more information on house #2 since it was our favorite.
